Crab Louie Salad Recipe • A West Coast Classic! - Episode #161

crab meat

🥗Healthier: imitation crab

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Imitation crab is lower in cost and calories.

Louis dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Yogurt-based dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

In a medium bowl, combine Mayo, light sour cream, cheesy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sweet relish, and hot paprika to make the dressing.

Whisk the ingredients until very well mixed and transfer to the fridge until needed.

Divide a head of finely chopped iceberg lettuce into two plates.

Place a row of sliced cucumber across each plate.

Add sliced cherry tomatoes to each plate.

Place about a quarter pound of crab meat on each plate.

Add 1 sliced boiled egg per plate.

Top with a slice of avocado and sprinkle with cooked bacon bits and freshly ground black pepper.

Fill small individual bowls with the dressing and garnish with a lemon wedge.

Optionally, add chopped parsley for garnish.
